This imposing Laon abbey was built in the early 12th century, and Saint Norbert installed 12 Pr\u00e9montr\u00e9 canons.
\nBasing its wealth in particular on the exploitation of the upper town’s vineyards, the abbey enjoyed great influence in medieval times. Today, the abbey’s former dwelling (closed to visitors), a pleasure pavilion known as the “vide-bouteilles”, and the cloister providing access to the Laon Library remain.
\nInside the abbey church, you can still admire a superb set of 18th-century wood panelling, two recumbent figures (including that of Jeanne de Flandre, wife of Enguerrand IV de Coucy), and a 14th-century crib recently rediscovered near the choir.<\/p>\n
Please note that access to the nave of the church is restricted (only during religious services or every afternoon in summer).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
